HIS LIFE A STIRRING ONE
Always in robust health, B. W. D. Barnes could
ride, shoot and get ^his man. He was everything
thnt all but put him down.
Here is the story told in his own
words: "I had throat trouble from
which no relief seemed possible. My
health was eone. Finally I decided
to try Peruna and was entirely
cured by four bottles. That was
three years ago. I am now as well
as ever; able to rid* all the time.
Thanks to Peruna."
Like SherifT Barnes, thousands
owe their present health to Peruna.

Marne. A mounted French officer ap-
pears around the turn and rides up to
the captain, who checks the advance
of his column by signals. In somewhat
broken English the French officer
says: "Why do you go ahead on this
road? You are going toward death."
"Well, I guess that was what we
came to meet, wasn't it?"
"But there is a strong line ahead
of you, and it is the Prussian guard."

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT
For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure aud
mention this paper.—Adv.

"I understand this comedian tells

"He does, eh?" said the vaudeville
magnate. "He's been delivering his
monologue before a street scene in a
deserted village, but if it will help him
to 'put over' his act any better I'm
quite willing to provide him with a
'drop' showing the interior of a first-
class bar room, with a shining mahog-
any bar, a brass rail, mirrors, cut glass
and rows of realistic bottles."—Birm-

HOT CONTEST ENDS WITH
A COMPLETE VICTORY
FOR DEMOCRATS
SAILOR BOY BEATS A BANKEP
For Treasurer of the School Board
Being the Only Republican Can-
didate to Escape the
Steam Roller.
Oklahoma City.—Democracy steam
rolled its way through Oklahoma Citj
and elected J. C. Walton mayor bji
1,089 votes, returned Mike Donnelly
to the office of accounts and finance
by a plurality of 3,000 votes and rnadJ
a favorite son of Joe Patterson by
lifting him Into the chair of commis-
sioner of public property by a plurality
of 5,000 votes, leading the ticket by
more than a thousand votes.
But for the amazing victory of Eu-
gene Wells, a returned sailor, who
nosed Chas. W. Gunter, a banker, out
in the fierce contest for office of school
treasurer by 268 votes, the democrats
would have made a clean sweep of the
election. Wells was the only republi-
can elected to a city office.
Voters expressed their attitude to-
ward the schools again in a decided
fashion, passing the extra millage levy
to maintain the schools during the
present year by a five to one vote.
The figures were: For the levy, 16,-
109; against, 3,903.
When the polls closed, the last word
had been spoken in a campaign that
politicians say will be remembered for
years as the contest in which a record
was set for bitterness, not only be*
tween parties, but between party fac
tions which disappeared to a large ex
tent after the primary had named
the standard bearer for the old lin€
organizations.
Black-Draught Given High Praise
As a Stomach and Liver Medi-
cine by Well-Known Old
Gentleman Who Has
Used It.
Mineola, Texas.—The Rev. M. G.
Jenkins, a retired minister of the M.
E. Church South, living In this city,
says: "I have used Ulnck-Draucht as
a stomach and liver medicine, and
have never found its equal.
Once ~ suff 'red for two months with
cramps and pains, tried everything I
could hear of without avail, but Black-
Draught was a 'dead shot.'
I am known here and al! over the
state for my honesty and truthfulness.
1 am 78 years old and have used Black-
Draught for years.
I can highly recommend It to any
one us a liver medicine that has no
equal. It Is excellent for stomach,
liver and other ailments. I use It for
b had taste In the mouth, headache
and other sicknesses that come from
the disorders of the liver."
Thedford's Black-Draught Is purely
vegetable, and acts actively on the
bowels, gently stimulating the liver,
and helping to Increase the normal
discharge of bile into the intestines.
It assists in the digestion of food
and relieves constipation in a prompt
and natural way.

CHICAGO RE-ELECTS MAYOR
"Pro-Germanism" Fails to Defeat in
"Sixth German City."
Chicago. — Mayor William Hale
Thompson, republican, was re-elected
in one of the most exciting political
struggles the city ever witnessed, com-
plete unofficial returns giving him a
plurality of 17,600.
His nearest opponent was Robert
M. Sweitzer, democrat, county clerk,
whom the mayor defeated four years
ago by a plurality of more than 147.-
000. The vote was: Thompson (R)
257,888; Sweitzer (D) 240,288; Hoytig
(Ind.) 110,898.
Much of the big vote which the
mayor received four years ago went
to State's Attorney Maclay Hoyne, a
democrat who ran as an independent
by petition.
The election in which six candidates
ran for mayor, fell on an ideal day
and the total vote cast, it was esti-
mated, was about 700,000 out of a
registered vote of nearly 800,000.
The city voted wet by a sweep-
ing majority, the first time the ques-
tion has been voted on in Chicago.
The liquor adherents made a cam-
paign based on the slogan "Let con-
gress hear your protest." The vote
was 3 to 1 or better in favor of sa-
loons.
The wet and dry question went
on the ballot by order of (he state
supreme court, which found that the
dry petition had been kept off the bal-
lot illegally at the preceding city elec
tion.
Thompson's principal opponents,
Sweitzer and Hoyne. the independent
both severely criticised the mayor and
referred to "Thompsonism" and his
war record. The mayor's reference
to Chicago as "the sixth German city."
his refusal to issue an invitation as
mayor to Marshal Joffre, of France
and his promise of police protection
to a gathering of members of the
People's Council for Democracy and
terms of peace, all were urged against
the mayor by his opponents.
Milwaukee Socialists Beaten.
Milwaukee.—Milwaukee socialisn

given the most severe beating thai
the party has received since it be
came a real political factor in th<
itate. Every candidate for school anc
Judicial office has been beaten, on i
proportion of two to one or better.
The proportion was the same wheth
r on the Judicial campaign when
men only could vote, or in the schoo
election where the women voted wit I
the men. The clear-cut issue of loyaltj
to America was drawn with the so
cialist pledge to reinstate German ii
the schools. Milwaukee repudiated
Germanism and socialism with tin
heaviest vote ever cast.
The socialists needed four of theii ;
five candidates to give them contro
of the schools. They did not eleo
one.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old-
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to Its natural
color dates hack to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy nnd attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is imissy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for n bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound," you
will get this famous old preparation,
Improved by the addition of other in-
gredients, which can be depended up-
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair so naturally
nnd evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it an«l draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at n time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an-
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.—Adv.

organs of the body. They are the lil-

which are swept irom the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys disease of one form or another

Kidney disease Is usually indicated by
weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
despondency, backache, stomach trou-
